Geocache Description:

A 5 stage multi cache that is designed to take the geocacher on a tour of the historic points of interest of the town and also show-off the magnificent scenery along the way. You can walk the route if you have the time, it takes around 40 minutes and is well worth the effort, but if you are in a hurry, you can drive to the various WPT’s.
